[R] xyz-contour plot (irregular grid)

[David Carlson]

I'm not sure if there is a single function, but a quick script
would look something like this and would be easily adjusted

attach(mtcars)
mtcars.ls <- loess(mpg~wt*hp)
wtg <- seq(min(wt), max(wt), length.out=50)
hpg <- seq(min(hp), max(hp), length.out=50)
grid <- expand.grid(wt=wtg, hp=hpg)
mpg.fit <- predict(mtcars.ls, grid)
contour(wtg, hpg, mpg.fit, xlab="Weight (1,000 lbs)", 
  ylab="Horsepower")
points(wt, hp, pch=20)

Dear R users:  before I try to undertake my own rewrite, has
anyone already
written a contour function that does not require a regularly
spaced grid,
preferably plot.contour(x,y,z,...)?

(it would be nice if it were based on loess() and plot()?
further
annotations, changes, etc., would then be easier.)

sincerely, /iaw
